"Look, Lord Nakado. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen thief discharged 200 cannons at once. ”

The guard of the Qing army in Zhoujiakou complained to Ah Gui, who was on the front line, with a bitter face. How the hell did he resist? It was 200 guns as soon as it was shot, and it was only the first day. Who knows if tomorrow morning, there will be another '200 cannons' on the position of the Fu Han army?

Across a Yinghe River, the two armies faced each other, and the artillery of the Fu Han army was ready to go. The cannons glowed in the sunlight with a deep chill. Look at the Qing army guards, the whole person is going to be bad!

"What's the panic? Chen is sharp, did you know it on the first day? Ah Gui's blade-like eyes immediately frightened the Zhoujiakou guards.

Seeing this scene, the corner of the mouth of a middle-aged military attache wearing a lieutenant general behind the guard showed a touch of sarcasm. His immediate boss was confused. If you want to 'pretend to be pitiful' to Lord Gui, you have to change the way, and Lord Gui doesn't listen to 'crying' at all.

Ah Gui didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so he naturally couldn't see this interesting scene. All he was thinking about now was the battle situation, the Chenzhou defense line operated by the Qing army: from Xihua in the north, through Zhoujiakou, to Shangshui in the south.

Chen Wei ignored Xihua and Shangshui on both wings, and the army smashed directly into Zhoujiakou in the center, which was not at all to flank the Qing army on both wings, and did not take the field combat ability of the Qing army seriously. "Chen Ming, this is absolutely confident that he can defeat the officers and troops attacking from both wings."

Gui did her best to keep herself calm. Because this is the case, the combat power of the current Chen Han and the Manchu Qing army is the same as the combat power of the Ming army against the Eight Banners when the Manchu Qing Dynasty rose. The latter could only rely on the heavy fortresses to block the Qing army's offensive. And when it came to field battles, the fragile Ming army was often easily defeated by the Eight Banners, who were far fewer in number than them.

Ah Gui's hand holding the telescope clenched tightly, and his heart had a headache like a knife. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have fallen to this point, and they are despised by rebellion, is there anything more humiliating to the officials and soldiers than this?

After more than 100 years, it has been 'alien transposition', and the strong army in the world at that time is now weak and deeply looked down upon by the rebellion.

Ah Gui hated to death in his heart.

If it was possible, he really wanted to turn all the more than 100,000 Qing troops under his command into a team like the Eight Banners New Army. Then on the front, hard to hard crush all the Chen rebellion, crush to death, crush to death, no one is left, no one is left......

It's just a pity, it's a pity that there is no 'if' in this world.

Ah Gui put down the telescope in his hand and sighed in his heart.

"Boom ......"

A cannon rang out across the Yinghe River. It should just be a test launch.

"Lord Zhongtang, Chen Wei is about to launch a cannon, my lord is still ......, let's avoid it." The son of a daughter can't sit down. Ah Gui has a heavy responsibility, but he can't be hurt on the front line.

"Order to return fire!" Ah Gui said four words coldly, took one last look at the artillery position of the Fu Han Army on the other side of the river, turned around and left.

On the side of the Han Army.

"Aim and hit!" Chen Ming waved his hand gently, the artillery of the Qing army had already been fired, what were the Fu Han army waiting for.

"Tell the balloon teams in the back and ask them to speed up." This hot air balloon that has just been invented is just too slow, too slow. They were making preparations when the sky was just dawning, and now ......, Chen Ming took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was eight twenty o'clock, it was an hour and a half, and the hot air balloon had not yet risen.

The principle of hot air balloon is very simple for Chen Ming. But the transition from Kong Ming lanterns to hot air balloons still requires a lot of complicated experiments. In order to create the most convenient and current hot air balloon, the fabric of the hot air balloon alone has undergone many experiments, and it is necessary to reduce the weight of the hot air balloon, but also to keep the hot air balloon firm, and then to extend the air balloon stay in the air as much as possible. The original hot air balloon could only stay in the air for five or six minutes. Chen Ming doesn't need the hot air balloon to rise too high, what he needs is a long enough stay in the air.

All of this is a hassle, and it takes a long time – experiment after experiment – to solve it.

So the ballball team started to form two years ago, but it was only now that a reasonable sample was officially produced. And the news that Chen Ming found out from Europe is that it seems that the French have not yet invented this hot air balloon.

Chen Ming can't remember exactly what year the hot air balloon was invented. But he knew it was the end of the 18th century, before the French Revolution.

The hot air balloon that the Fu Han army poured out, nicknamed Kong Ming Lantern, can rise 50 to 100 meters and stay in the air for about an hour. It's just that this preparation time is very long.

……

The sound of artillery was fierce. The roaring explosions resounded across the battlefield, and the smoke filled the positions of the Qing army.

The artillery bombardment between the two sides lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the sound of artillery could hardly be heard in the Qing positions on the other side of the Yinghe River.

The hot air balloon of the Fu Han Army was raised, and there was a hot air balloon responsible for guiding the direction and direction - although the battlefield below was full of gunsmoke, the effect was still very obvious.

But the reason why the Qing army's batteries stopped firing was definitely not because of how sharp and accurate the artillery of the Fu Han army was, and the latter artillery positions were mostly closed and semi-closed, and they were resistant to fighting! The real reason is that the current Qing gunners are all pale and are already scared to pee.

Ah Gui and the Qing military attache beside him opened their mouths wide one by one, staring at the hot air balloon rising opposite with horror and incredulity—a Chiyou mask.

The height of fifty or sixty meters is not high, but in this era - fifty or sixty meters on the flat ground is already a very high height, and the huge round ball of the hot air balloon is painted with a hideous face of Chiyou, through the smoke of the battlefield, and the 'grimace' is visible for a while, and blurred for a while. It's scary!

That living thing is a huge grimace hanging in the air!

The entire Qing army, at first glance, was about to jump out of his throat, and no one was mentally prepared.

With the shield of gunsmoke, the rope pulling the hot air balloon Qing army could not be seen, the smoke of gunpowder was thick for a while, and light for a while, in the clouds and fog, that vague feeling made the Qing army look up and down with more fear and fear.

"Ghost, ghost......"

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts......"

The gunners who first saw the hot air balloon were crying and crying for their mothers, and they were so frightened that their souls were scattered.

The Manchus worshipped Buddhism.

Ah Gui himself can be literate and martial, and the 'grimace' in front of him, he vaguely guessed what it was at first glance, and his heart was jumping 'poof'. If it's really that god, it's not a ghost. There are also Shaanxi people around him, and Chiyou was especially respected in the Qin and Han dynasties, known as the god of war and the ancestor of soldiers, and was worshiped by the imperial court. To this day, its image and belief are still circulating in Shaanxi.

Immediately, a military attache from Shaanxi knelt on the ground with a pop, "Chiyou, it's the great god of Chiyou......"

For a while, everyone was 'excited', and fear burrowed into their bone marrow like a poisonous snake, and they couldn't stop it.

Liu Guangda climbed out of the anti-artillery hole and held a monocular to observe the situation on the other side. The figure of the Fu Han army can be seen in the distance. However, at this time, he did not ask his soldiers to quickly climb out of the anti-artillery hole and get up from the trenches to prepare for battle, because the artillery fire of the Fu Han army was still very sharp. Now that the shelling of the Fu Han army is still continuing, it is not a good idea to rush out of the anti-artillery hole. Besides, the distance of the Fu Han army is also relatively far, not to mention the musketeers at this distance, even the guns in the fortress can't fire.

And Liu Guangda is also very strange, what's the matter, he suddenly feels that his artillery fire is gone? In addition to the movable artillery positions, the artillery of Zhoujiakou also had a number of closed and semi-closed batteries along the river. The latter is much more durable than the old open turrets.

How long has it been? Is there a quarter of an hour? Were all the batteries set up by the Qing army on the banks of the Yinghe River gone? Liu Guangda thinks this is impossible.

No matter how powerful the artillery of the Fu Han Army is, it can't be so powerful. The artillery positions on both sides were separated by three or four miles.

"My lord, my lord......" A wolf cry full of horror sounded in Liu Guangda's ears. He turned his head and saw that it was his right-hand man and the highest officer he had left on the position.

"Look, look at it......" The battalion officer's face was full of horror, and his finger pointed to the air, and the whole person was in the stage of liver and gall breaking.

Liu Guangda looked up in the direction of the battalion officer's finger, and the whole person was like a fixation technique, and he didn't know when the telescope in his hand fell. "This, this is ......"

"Chiyou, my lord, this is the great god of Chiyou......" The battalion officer finally collapsed. Falling to his knees, trembling and wailing, endless fear swept over his body, and the sudden grimace completely shattered his mind.

Chi You, this mythical demonized Chi You. It's the fierce god, it's the ancestor of the soldiers, and Chi You is on Chen Han's side. How else do they fight? Endless fear spread like an infectious disease in Zhoujiakou, and all the Qing troops who saw the hot air balloon in mid-air instantly faded their fighting spirit, and even those who were still clamoring for resistance were not courageous but hysterical madness......

Chen Ming keenly noticed the decline in the morale of the Qing army, and the speed of fading was amazing. What's going on?

"Ordered the artillery to shoot inward. The assault force strikes at once! ”

Chen Ming was a little confused. But the opportunity must not be lost. The morale of the Qing army plummeted in an instant, no matter what the reason, even if Ah Gui was killed by a cannonball. It is true to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle and achieve a real victory.

The shells are still flying. But he crossed the front-line position near the river and bombarded towards Zhoujiakou Town. In the front-line positions, some officers didn't see Chi You's grimace in mid-air at all, and they shouted loudly while trotting, asking their soldiers to drill out of the anti-artillery holes one by one and lie on the trenches, the muskets in their hands have been loaded with bullets, and they can meet the rushing Fu Han army at any time.

At this time, the front-line Qing army trenches were already suffering from the baptism of mortar shells.

From time to time, shells fall into the trenches and explode. The landing point was immediately a bright blood flower.

Both the offensive and defensive sides are facing the threat of each other's firepower, and war is a more tragic game than anyone!

Everyone is enduring blows and casualties, and whoever dies more and who can't bear it first loses!

If the artillery forces on both sides were equal, or if the gap between the two sides was not so huge, there is no doubt that in the mode of warfare of this era, the proportion of casualties of the Qing army as the defending side was much less than that of the attacking side of the Fu Han army.

But now from time to time the artillery forces are not equal, and there is a huge disparity. What's more, the morale of the Qing army was completely gone. I don't know how many people in the entire position knelt on the ground and trembled, terrified to the extreme.

When the assault troops carried the wooden bars into the Yinghe River, most of the Qing positions on the front line were still quiet.

When the soldiers of the assault force of the Fu Han Army charged with bayonets, the front-line positions of the Qing army were still quiet.

Ah Gui in the rear jumped like thunder, he didn't believe in any Chiyou, "That's a trick." It must have been a trick played by Chen Hui. "Even if there is really Chiyou, as long as Chiyou doesn't personally take action to sweep away the Qing army, he won't be afraid. What's more, how can it really be Chiyou? Even if there is really a god and Buddha coming, it shouldn't be Chi You, the ghost and god ancestor who has been annihilated in the long river of history. Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as the Buddha, and the Jade Emperor are more reliable than him.

"Tell the artillerymen that if they don't fire again, they will be beheaded. Call me! ”

The entire front-line position near the river softened. So far, the guns have not sounded a few times, and Ah Gui's whole person can burn.

There was silence in the headquarters, and the little residual smell of blood was still warning the officers present about the fate of the Du Si just now, who was personally slashed and killed on the spot by Ah Gui! It's just because he called out 'Chiyou Great God' and said, 'It's over, it's all over'! Ah Gui will let him finish first!

Chen Ming absolutely didn't expect that the debut of the balloon team would have such an unexpected 'alternative effect'. It was not their 'eyes' that commanded the artillery of the Fu Han Army to show their skills and win the victory, but their 'faces' that directly frightened the enemy.

Foolishness!

The screams echoed faintly in the explosion!

The artillery of the Qing army finally opened fire again. It's still a shotgun with great lethality.

The soldiers of the assault force of the Fuhan Army who rushed ashore on the opposite side were knocked down one after another, but the rest of the people continued to charge! The first Qing army array has been taken by them. The assault troops did not stop their steps, but continued their attack towards the depths of the defensive line!

The assault soldiers in the charge were also fighting back with muskets, but their ranks were too scattered, and the accuracy of a single musket shot was terrible, and the effect was also poor. The cannon of the Qing army resounded and roared without a sound, and it seemed weak. However, the powerful shotgun still harvested the lives of one soldier after another of the Han Army. A fighter of the assault unit was hit in the head, the projectile pierced through the helmet, and the whole head was instantly destroyed by the projectile like a ripe watermelon......

Liu Guangda sat down against the trench, and the saber and handcuffs on his body were put on both sides by him, and if the Fu Han army rushed up, he would be captured. How can a man fight against demons and gods?

But some Qing army officers were really not afraid of ghosts and gods. A military attache of the Eight Banners had a white bandage on his arm and blood on his face, and the artillery bombardment of the Fu Han army also caused some losses to the Qing army. The military attache of the Eight Banners didn't care about this little injury, his gaze was completely cast dozens of meters away, and the assault troops of the Fu Han Army were getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

"Grenade ready!"

The military attaché of the Eight Banners did not expect his soldiers to be able to reload their bullets at this time. Then only grenades remain.

Soon, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army approached thirty or forty meters, and the first wave of grenades was viciously thrown by them, and the Qing army on the opposite side also threw back sixty or seventy grenades. It's a pity that at least half of it was only thrown for more than ten meters before it fell to the ground weakly.

The military attache of the Eight Banners threw three grenades one after another, and was the first to jump up from the trench with a machete, "Brothers, the time has come to serve the court, it's a hero who kills me!" ”

A skirmish of hand-to-hand combat was inevitable.

The soldiers of the assault force formed a triangular formation unique to the Han army and rushed down against the Qing army.

Screams and screams, blood stains flowed down the wounds, soaking the land that had caused countless people to die.

There seemed to be a dead silence all around, and the ears of the military attache of the Eight Banners could no longer hear any sound, and all his willpower was glaring at a squad leader of the Fu Han Army in front of him. With both hands, he grabbed the bayonet that had pierced his chest, feeling the pain as the blade pulled out of his body little by little. The military attache of the Eight Banners covered his chest with both hands, but he still couldn't stop the blood gushing out, he no longer had the strength to stand on his heels, and his steps staggered and half-knelt down, but his head still raised and looked at the squad leader of the Fuhan Army in front of him, and his eyes showed unforgettable hatred!

The hatred between Eight Banners and Chen Han does not need to be said much, and it cannot be resolved.

The strength was lost with the loss of blood, and when his blood stained the ground beneath him, he could not even maintain this half-kneeling posture, and it was difficult to open his eyelids again, and the enemy in his eyes had turned away, shouting loudly, and holding his bayonet to kill the other Qing soldier.

He closed his eyes, his body gradually fell to the ground, and the cold ground seemed to become warmer, which was the temperature of his blood.

The Qing army fled in the wilderness, and when the military attaché of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners soldiers in the team and the soldiers loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty died, the remaining Qing soldiers, who accounted for the vast majority of the Qing soldiers, began to flee in the wilderness.

"Immediately put in the follow-up troops. Take down Zhoujiakou for me! ”

In addition to the Yinghe River, the Shahe River, and the Jialu River, Zhoujiakou is really a difficult place. If you don't take advantage of the Qing army's panic, you will resolutely take it. When they came to their senses, it was the Fu Han army that made it difficult.

"Your Highness, the balloon team has really made a great contribution today. Why are you suddenly discouraged? They treated the hot air balloon as a chiyou, and they directly scared themselves into stupidity. Liu Wu shook an interrogation report, his face was tense with joy, the object of the inquiry was still a general, according to the captured soldiers, this staff general threw his handcuffs and waist knives on the ground when he was captured, and he was very obedient.

The report in Liu Wu's hand was the general's confession, and the Qing army saw the hot air balloon in mid-air, thinking that it was the manifestation of the great god Chiyou, so they naturally didn't dare to fight anymore...... (To be continued.) )
